The little things that make a big difference

Microsoft has just released the latest update for Windows 11, and while it might seem like a minor change, it could have a significant impact on you and your team.

The spotlight this time is on Copilot, Microsoft’s AI assistant, which has found a new home on the taskbar. No more searching for the icon—it’s now conveniently placed on the far right in the ‘system tray area.’

If Copilot isn’t your thing, don’t worry—you can easily remove it from the taskbar. However, having an AI assistant readily accessible can be a great productivity booster, so why not give it a try before deciding?

Before you rush to check for the new Copilot placement, let’s dive into the details.

This update, identified as Patch KB5034765, has been gradually rolling out over the past few weeks. But it’s not just about repositioning buttons—it includes critical security and bug fixes too. Notably, a fix for Explorer.exe, which was causing some PCs to freeze when restarted with a game controller connected, is part of the package. While that issue might not affect your business directly, you can never be too sure!

Another important fix addresses the sluggish performance of Narrator, the screen reader tool, ensuring smoother operation.

Although this Windows 11 update may seem small, these little refinements can significantly enhance your workflow and reduce interruptions for your team.
